Donruss had Dick Perez and in 1991 Fleer entered the art card market with Terry Smith's Provisions. The '91 set was an insert and Fleer crossed the insert over into their basketball and football sets as well. I remember the '91 baseball inserts were super easy to find because they had black borders and stood out like a sore thumb in the packs when you pressed the wax paper to the side of the pack. Yep I was a teenage pack searcher.
In 1992, Fleer numbered the Provision set into the main checklist. In 1993 the art would get reused in the Barry Colla Diamond Marks Bookmarks - Art card inserts.
The Provision cards are still some of my favorites from the junk wax era. And I'm glad Robin got included in the second set. Plus Fleer added a very nice write up on the back.
I loved the Provisions cards as a teen.
